Before everyone anoints this the greatest offense ever, let us play a little while first. The names don't win games. You have to go out there and perform, and we really haven't swung the bats well.
It's always easier to hit when it's a low-scoring game and your pitcher is doing the job. It all starts with pitching. Our offense got so much publicity early on, but pitching is the most important thing.
It all starts with pitching. This offense got so much publicity early on, but you're going to win if you pitch. We've got a lot of guys who know how to pitch.
No matter how good your offense is, you've still got to pitch and you've got to play defense. We didn't have any problem scoring runs last year.
People say this is the greatest offense ever. But let us play awhile. Names don't win games. You have to play the games.
They're a completely different team (than Tampa Bay).

I've been with Mo for 14 years. It's mind-boggling when you look at how consistent he's been all these years. I don't think anything he does amazes me anymore.
The feeling is that it's over. It doesn't always happen, but that's the feeling you have. Mo has been automatic for a while.
It's something that happened two or three months ago, ... It really wasn't a big deal, so I don't know why it's a big issue today.
